About Amy

---

Amy has handled a variety of cases over the years, including criminal matters, such as fraud, money laundering, criminal tax evasion and fraud, racketeering, civil disorder, obstruction of justice, hate crimes, murder, asset forfeiture, theft of governmental information, threats, computer crimes, immigration, and firearms crimes; national security matters, including sanctions violations, terrorism, espionage, and Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations; civil matters, including civil asset forfeiture, international takings, economic sanctions violations, and civil tax evasion and fraud; and administrative/regulatory matters, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) process.

Amy’s approach as a white collar and federal criminal defense attorney is largely informed by her work in the federal government. Prior to her work as a white collar and federal criminal defense attorney, Amy served as a Trial Attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section (MLARS), where she led, coordinated, and otherwise supported a number of complex and high-profile federal cases and investigations. Amy’s ability to excel as a federal prosecutor stemmed, in part, from her prior experience in the federal government, working at the U.S. Department of the Treasury and a number of offices within the U.S. Department of Justice. 

Amy’s interest in law and policy derives from her passion for helping others and her desire to do so in an exceptional way. Amy believes it is crucial for those being charged with or investigated for a crime to have an attorney who they can trust and will help them navigate the legal system with compassion and diligence to obtain the best outcome possible.

Amy is also a problem-solver and intellectually curious at heart. She has a passion for understanding and otherwise engaging with complex legal and policy issues. Accordingly, Amy has published on a variety of topics, and a number of her works have been relied on by experts in the respective fields. One of Amy’s publications has even been archived with the U.S. Library of Congress.
